This seems like it is strictly an improvement, so +1 from me.

I just added support to networkd for matching on ethernet devices [0],
so if we switch to that in a few releases time we can replace this
udev rule with a .network file:

-->8-------
[Match]
Type=ethernet

[Network]
DHCP=yes
-->8-------


Note that this stuff is still subject to change, so feedback would be welcome.

Cheers,

Tom
